Stole the image from /h/corn. It made me wonder: What is your perfect kino time?
There was a period during my childhood when my family would gather every few nights in the living room and watch an episode of some long-running TV-show together. My mom had just bought a projector, so we would switch-off all the lights and the only light came from the projection on the big white screen at the end of the room that went from the ceiling to the floor. It made it so the whole room was bathed in shadows and the faces of my family were only illuminated during bright and colorful scenes. There weren't enough chairs and spots on the couch to accommodate everyone so I'd sit on the cold tile floor and try to pet the cats as they came and went. It was always a whole shebang trying to get the movie to play and the subtitles to sync so we'd make shadow puppets on the screen while my brother would troubleshoot it.
My second favorite kino-time was in college, real late in the night in my flat I'd order an extra-large pizza, from the local shop which was amazing, with a crème fraiche base and an extra egg in the middle. And then I'd eat it and get really hammered off Kronenbourgs (don't judge me) as I watched, sitting at my desk indian-style, with my cat on my lap. Had some of my impactful kino moments during those times from movies that mostly didn't warrant them.
Never managed to recreate those times, and looking back although the movies were good if they had been removed from the setting I wouldn't have such strong and fond memories of them.
So what's your favorite kino memory?

when i was (briefly) in college during the coof i spent all day depression sleeping and all night watching youtube lets plays while eating nutella toast
strictly speaking it was the worst part of my life but looking back on it having months and months of absolutely zero obligations was pretty cool, even if i didn't do anything productive with the time like i would prefer to now

That sounds like the quintessential college experience.
